An Aberdeenshire farmer is working with a Scottish charity to share a mental health message of positivity and hope with fellow farmers throughout the country.
Kenny Elphinstone, who has battled with depression for much of his life, talks openly and positively about his mental health journey in a short film produced as part of RSABIs suicide prevention work.
In the video, filmed on his farm, Kenny shares his battle with his mental health which reached an all-time low a few years ago when he attempted to take his own life.
After a hospital visit, Kenny was back home and, initially, he still really struggled with his mental health but things started to improve.
Kenny has learned a great deal about how to keep his mental health good in recent years and the steps he needs to take if he starts to feel his mental health deteriorating, or starts losing sleep.
